TENCH FISHING ON THE FLOAT 

After decades of carp fishing I’m hanging up the big carp rods & reels for more of a course fishing pastime .. your videos are so good & informative for my future fishing!! Love them .. 👌

One of the reasons this video is popular is because, Everyone Loves Tench! They really are a beautiful species. Cracking video Nick 👍

Best channel on RU-vid by a country mile 👏 👌 👍

Those memories of when you’re a kid are all part of it. There’s lakes I’d never fish in a million years if I only wanted to catch decent fish but God! The nostalgia and the atmosphere of the venues can really light up the senses just cause of the memories! Bloody hell what a tench! Nice one Nick

I used to fish a pond in Sussex 40+ years ago. Behind Ardingly College if anyone knows that place. I raked out one heavily weeded swim one afternoon for a nights fishing. Caught 100+ small Tench up to 2 1/2lbs. Got smashed 3 or 4 times on 6lb line with unstoppable runs. Someone said there were supposedly carp in there. But I never knew of anyone catching carp from that pond nor did I know of anyone who even knew anyone, who'd caught carp there. But it's the magic of a warm summer morning or evening, on a small lily pad covered pond and float fishing for Tench. Does course fishing ever get as good as that? EDIT That male Tench at the end. They say that to find out how big the biggest female Tench are in a pond/lake, DOUBLE the size of the biggest male Tench you catch 8-))...

Cracking vlog on how you tackled this water. Tench on the float is the proper way to do it for me! Well done!

Fantastic video, thank you Nick. Challenging fishing but great to see how you approached it.

Great video. No better fishing than float fishing for tench.

That place looks fantastic! I love them little wild places, beats any commercial any day of the week.... lobed this, cracking watch..... Hope you go back 😎🤙🏻🎣🐟

Excellent video, thank you

Great video. Very atmospheric and reminds me of great days gone by !

Watched this absolute banger for some tips and tricks and came away from the video with alot more 👍👍

Quality video again.. Makes me hate the winter even more now, especially with the weather we are currently having haha, cant wait for spring and some Tench fishing. Keep up the good work

Superb video. Really enjoyed it. Great fun fishing on a lovely little pond.

Enjoyed the vid. Love fishing for tench but not had over five pound myself. Tight lines

Beautiful setting well done, pity about the traffic noise

Nice vid m8 love these small waters you never know whats there good fishing 🎣 🎣 .

First time of viewing this brilliant video , what a venue , would really love to fish it , I bet there is a few surprises in there , great vid love it ..👏🏻👏🏻

Love this video my friend just come across your channel am out of the country but don't miss the country with all the nonsense going on other than pie and mash, fish and chips and fishing! All the best

Great vid

Glad I found this little channel. Great stuff mate.

just fantastic to get any of the big tench out is superb, and what epic fights they were. Have you been back and fished it on the bottom yet, Brilliant videos with some great information, when i was younger bread was the bait we used float fished. Good luck to you and have a great Christmas.🎣👍

Brilliant video buddy, I agree little venues like that are so nice for a days float fishing. I think we all need at least a few days a year like that just to remind us of how we fell in love with the sport in the first place, the draw of the unknown is few and far between nowadays. We're nearly at perch time of the year, bet you can't wait, I can't lol. Have a great week and weekend and tight lines, best wishes and stay safe and well to you and your family buddy

Lift method is such an awesome way to catch the tench, even better on a pin, but maybe not with that much weed 😂

Beautiful place nick the club that runs this water should have a good work party weekend and tidy the place up some awesome tench there nick nice 1,para

Awesome buddy.. nice tench … there’s to much weed there .. they need sort it out .. good vid .. cheers Chris & Sam

Lovely video !

Lots of weed put looks like a great water nice fish

Nice video. Lovely looking pond. Looks difficult to fish though with all that weed. But you did well.

Looks eely

Bro ur videos are quality,proper production👊🏻💯well done

Excellent video and quality content - I can't believe I've only just found your videos today!

Corn is king for tench on bottom few shots on the line and ground bait particles on bottom feed on close I find is grate iv have some big tench up to 8 or 9lb like this

Loved this video nick what an amazing pond and tench fishing with a float is class i enjoy a spot of floatfishing it takes us back to our younger years cheers nick tight lines

Nice video as always nick got to ove catching tench, I spoke to you the other week about Kings weir and I caught nothing unfortunately. I going back next week for round 2.

I mix corn. With sonubaits barbel groundbait mix. Works a treat

The videos are cracking for sure mate!! Only one small complaint, the music parts are way louder than the talking parts. I know nothing about editing video so I don't know if you can even out the sound levels? But keep them coming mate, the quality is outstanding!!

Great vid nick, lovely traditionally method, how about some autumn perch soon ?

Bought them from my husband for Father's Day we'll see how they work

This time next year I predict you having over 10k subscribers,quality content and i dont even fish for tench,fairplay man really enjoying your work! Pike on lures coming into the autumn?

Great video, love seeing what's in these small ponds. Keep up the great work 👍👍

I think this is the club I'm a member of. I'll give this a go next time..cheers

Where is this lake please? Looks perfect but no good if we dont know where it is! Top video though.... 👍😁

👍

Going to Hampton Springs tomorrow in Malpas, Cheshire. Hoping for big Tench fishing the lift method 🙏

What a fantastic little pond, nice one Nick. 👍

I wonder, 3 years on Nick, did you back?

Well done nick another great video, is there a fish that swims that you don’t fish for 😂👌🏻🎣

I just had a 9lb 10z at smallford

I'm no expert, in fact I haven't been fishing for 20 years, but I am now keen to go again. - I couldn't help but notice a blue rope with a rake on the end of it (near the beginning of the video - 29 seconds in). Could you not throw it in, clear some of that weed, at least clear a path so you can land the fish, plus stir up the bottom in the process, then return a few hours later ready to catch whatever it's attracted? Would that work?

Why can't we have fishing videos without constant music in the background?

7:50 iv cot afew small pike on 2 maggots

I love the way you lose your shit when you get hooked up....everyone feels the same but tries to play it cool ha

Try using your drag on reel 😂

I fish a similar weedy lake and don’t fish the lift method as it means you have to be over-depth, sitting in the weed. I fish just off bottom for the tench on the waggler and the bites are really good.

This as given the the inspiration to float fish for the few tench in my club lake....but I don't own a float rod but I have a korum feeder ambition rod with a 2,3,4 oz tips do u think I could use that feeder rod to float fish if so which tip would be best?

That first tench was gorgeous. I fished a match on the adjoining lake last week and had a walk round this pond. Definitely on the very near to do list - right up my street. Great video

I use 8lb maxima for all my tench float fishing and have never vever snapped off. I fish weed and lilly festooned lakes and the tench are animals. With tench to over 9lb in these lakes its hit and hold and other than the odd hook pull i generally win. I never pinch shot on my line using olliveties and float stops instead. What line do you use nick???

Hi, what rod do use for tench is a standard 13 foot float rod ok I want to start this on my local reservoir because we have got tench up to 9 lb.

Does tench just Bomb the float under and let go as I got loads of takes like that on sweet corn and a red maggot

Did you have to rake the swim?

Tench can't half move when they get up a head of steam i was snapped on 0.17 mm line & 13 elestics i could not turn it.

That lake could do with a good raking, so much overgrown weed

I know the lake you were fishing and there are carp in there.

Good vids mate but why do you need to talk at volume 4 and then have the music blast out at volume 10 it just spoils the vids

What gram Olivetti leads please ?

I've had big carp 30+pound catfish and I'll say this tench are my favourite fish to catch. I would rather catch 100 tench to having g a big carp anyday

I like men

Good fishing - but terrible muzac! Completely detracts from the essence of the video - Why did you do that?
